Borders Neglected in Past, Top Priority for Modi Government Now: Rijiju on Claims of Chinese Intrusion in Arunachal
Rijiju said border neglect is now a top priority and dismissed viral videos claiming Chinese troops entered 60 km into Arunachal Pradesh.
- On Wednesday, Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju dismissed claims that China entered 60 km into Arunachal Pradesh, calling videos supporting the allegations "incorrect" and an attempt to defame the government.
- Rijiju acknowledged that villagers raised valid concerns due to lack of clear border demarcation, emphasizing this confusion should not be interpreted as Chinese occupation of Indian Territory.
- Asserting that border areas were neglected previously, Rijiju stated infrastructure development is now a "top priority" under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, referencing former Defence Minister A.K. Antony's 2013 admission of past policy failures.
- The Indian government maintains that Arunachal Pradesh is an integral part of the country, with officials stressing that maintaining peace along the Line of Actual Control remains essential for broader bilateral ties.
- To counter repeated attempts by China to rename places in the state, authorities have decided to identify 27 specific geographical features with standard names on official Survey of India maps.
